Programs

In order to meet the demand for quality training programs from the South Carolina fire service, the Fire Academy has implemented an instructor certification program to train and qualify instructors. These instructors are then used in the delivery of fire training programs throughout the state in both direct delivery and train-the-trainer courses.

SCFA Courses

Fire certification training is only a click away through the S.C. Fire Academy’s Online Learning Community. These web-based courses offer an alternate delivery method for students who otherwise may not be able to travel to attend traditional courses. Providing greater access to training to more firefighters better prepares our communities in the event of a disaster, protects property, and saves lives.

South Carolina Firefighters Memorial

Each spring, the South Carolina State Association of Fire Chiefs holds a memorial service at the S.C. Fallen Firefighters Memorial, housed on the grounds of the S.C. Fire Academy.

The Fallen Firefighter Memorial Garden was constructed by the S.C. State Association of Fire Chiefs and the S.C. State Firefighters' Association in conjunction with the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. The dedication ceremony was held Aug. 28, 1999.

The following South Carolina firefighters names have been placed on the memorial wall to honor their dedication, service, and sacrifice to the citizens of South Carolina, their communities, and departments:
